from what ive hurd on here you would be looking at about 4000 b4 boost

Consider the GT3540 .63? I'm sure SAU needs a guineepig. :laugh:

If you have a look at garretts turbine maps you will notice the GT35r .63 and the GT30r .82 have similiar flow/pressure values. I'm not completely sure and won't be for a long time but to myself the GT35r .63 I feel is a better option over the GT3040r .82 as the larger gt35r turbine wheel provides more shaft torque to drive the compressor.

I would be interested to see if any one has gone the gt35r .63 route over the gt3040r .82.

I'm a little scared of lag to be honest. I wouldn't go any bigger than a gt3071r on an rb25 but that also means reduced power output. :)

GT35 - .82 = boost (15-17psi) after 4500rpm or possibly even later than that,l its a 700hp turbo for gods sake.

Before that dont expect anything special and it will be quite lazy about town :)

DOnt get a GT35, get a GCG hi-flow or something similar if you want response

That is wright it doesnt come on til about 4000rpm i run one on my R33, ive been told you can put a smaller rear housing on it which would bring it down a bit. But for round town driving it pretty good you can still drive normally without ur BOV going off every time you go through the gears and when you want the power it comes on hard.

My .82 GT35R hits full boost (15psi) at 4600rpm.

FJ20ET stock, not mine (mine is FJ20E :P), full boost 18 psi at 4750rpm and 1 bar a 4500rpm. Mine same thing though 25 psi at 4750rpm. Running 0.82 housing.

Being a 6 with 2.5L, probs around the 4500rpm mark. Woohoo, turbos dont usually make good power till before this rpm anyways. Youll be surprised as to how nice it is. But yeah response wont compare to GCG high flow. But get a 3540 :( I love it

Im running a GT35r with .63 a/r on my rebuilt Neo Rb25 and its not laggy at all. Mind you its has been rebuilt and hiflowed by GCG but yeh i am very impressed with the response and accelaration

The Gt35r turbine wheel is too large to fit in to any of the hitachi/garrett internal housings that I know of.

I would assume you are running external gate?

Well u must be mistaken as it is definately a gt35r in garret housings. Everything was modded. It was originally a t4 (specs unknown) and i got it rebuilt by gcg with ball bearing and hi flowed with .63 a/r. Spools up real quick

Yes running turbosmart ext wastegate and turbosmart supersonic bov (sleeper series) with an ebc on the way once it gets full tune

not taking the piss out of anyone, but i think the word 'hi-flow' really is being used quite a lot these days, sometimes for the wrong reason.

xxx_25L,

if you don't want too much lag, you can go with a GCG 'hi-flowed' turbo which will make things easier while fitting.

another option is a Garrett GT3071R with an A/R .82 exhaust housing which would be reponsive enough given the smaller compressor wheel, and plenty of flow given the A/R .82 exhaust housing.

So your definitely not running the usual RB style turbine housing.

It must be something along the lines of a VLT housing.

OR... have you miss-used the world 'highflow'? Highflow uses your origional turbine and comp covers.

As you are running an ext gate I think it would have been silly for GCG to machine up a T3 .63 when garrett sell a T3 .63. I think you will find it isn't a highflow but rather a good ol' genuine GT35r .63.

Got the receipt? Would be keen to see how they have worded this highflow which clearly isn't a highflow. :(

Ok to clear up...My original turbo WAS a T04 (specs unknown - roughly rated at 450hp ) I got gcg to convert it to a gt3540r using my original housings...you comprehend???

Below - quote by Michael Ramsay from an email.

"The GT3540R core swap is about a 6 hour job, where adaptors plates need to be welded and machined and tapped to the turbine housing, and some extensive machining and modification is required.

The GT35R Conversion - Rated between 600 & 650 using customers housings.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
